Allocations and Recognition

In conjunction with LEED, the A&R Process will now take place on a semesterly basis.

CSC student orgs provide proposals of their progress and accomplishments throughout the previous semester and propose a budget for the follow allocation period to accomplish future goals and service. ARC reviews the applications and approves the funding with support from the CSC staff.

There will be two funding periods for AY 2023-2024

Period 1: Funding for clubs for Fall 2023 through Intersession 2024 will be reviewed in Spring 2023.

Period 2: Funding for clubs for Spring 2024 will be reviewed in Intersession 2024.

Essentially, funding for clubs in the fall will be reviewed the previous spring and funding for spring will be reviewed over interssion
